Warmth of Drained Soil.


The curious paradox is presented In
undertaking land that it freezes more
deeply in winter, but so soon as spring
comes it rapidly grows warmer than
land not drained. There are much
greater extremes Of temperature, and
both heat and cold favor the disintegra-
ton Of the soil and the development of
plant food. In well-drained land there
is no surplus of water beyond what the
soil will naturally retain. Its freezing,
therefore, does not make solid stratum
of ice, and when it thaws the water
percolating to the tiles Is followed by
air which in spring is always warmer
than the soil. At night wheh the sur
face freezes the expansion of the coil
expels the air, which is replaced on tho
morrow when the sun Is shining brightly.
Stagnant water in the soil prevents tho
circulation of air, and thus keeps down
the temperature until the wateris grad.

Thomas Jefferson's Eulogist.

Mr.. Blaine is in trouble again over a
speech. When he appeared before the
st. Louis Chamber of Commerce the
other day, he pitched upon tho late
Thomas Jefferson as safe topic for a
few remarks, and when he got through,
he probably supposed that he was all
right for once. But the St. Louis
papers published stenographis reports
of his speech, and those reports made
the historian speak of Jefferson as
"that great man, who, in the annals of
American greatness, should stand next
to Washington" These reports were
no sooner circulated than good Repub-
lican organs, like the Dayton co.,
Journal, began to make such remarks
as this: "Has Mr.. Blaine forgotten
Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the
glories of emancipation and the infamy
of the pro-slavery State-rights resolu-
tions of Thomas Jeffersonp" OF
course, Mr.. Blaine will explain that it
was all the fault of the stenographer,
and that he really paid hearty tribute
to Lincoln which the shorthand re-
porter unaccountably failed to CATCH

with merry laugh before beginning
to nibblc the fresh, sweet grass. In
the stable the amusements of horses
too often take the form Of wantcn mis-
chief, or some such horse-play as un-
hooking stable-jacket and tearing 1t
up, or biting holes in their own cloth
ing, kicking their stalls to bits, etc..
while n very playful pony has been
known to indulge in pulling the feath-
ers out Of pigeons tails.
Talking Of pigeons reminds me Of
the quantity of small talk, gossip, or
scandal indulged in by them and cer-
tain other birds before retiring for
the night or beginning work for the
day. House sparrows, starlings and
rocks are all very chatty at these
times, while birds who lead more soli-
tary lives nearly always end and begin
the day with song Of joy.
Dogs do not chew or smoke; but a
dog nearly always keeps store of IA
vorite old bones by him, one Of which
he loves to bring to the fircside, to pass
away half an hour before going to bed
gnawing at it, while light-hearted dogs
will often end spell Of chewing at
their bone with game Of pitch-and-
toss with it. / have even known dogs
to play pitch-and-toss with a single pei
let of shot. One sees more OF the dog
and cat and their pastimes than OF
other animals, but it is likely that in
state of nature most beasts spend quite
as much of their life in killing time as
do these. W. Christian Advocate.

"MARY'S LITTLE LAMB"

A Story About the "Hero" of tho Well
Known Nursery Rhymes-How the "Old
South Church" Was Helped.
Most of our young readers will be
surprised to hear that the well-known
nursery song of "Mary Had Little
Lamb is a true story, and that MARY"
is still living. About seventy years
ago she was u little girl, the daughter
of farmer in Worcester County, Mass.
She was very fond of going with her
father into the fields to see the sheep,
and one day they found IL babylamb
which was thought to be dead. Kind
hearted little Mary, however, lifted it
up in her arms, and, rs it seemed to
breathe, she carried it home, made it n
warm bed near the stove. and nursed it
tenderly. Great was her delight when,
after weeks of careful feeding and
watching, her little patient began to
grow well and strong, and soon after it
was able to run about. 1t knew its
young mistress perfectly, always came
at her call, and was happy only when
ut her side. One day it followed her
to the village school. and, not know
ing what else to do with it, she put it
under her desk and covered it with her
shawl. There it stayed until Mary was
called up to the teachers desk to say
her lesson, and then the lamb walked
quietly after her and the other children
burst out laughing. So the teacher
had to shut the little girls pet in the
wood-shed until school was out. Soon
after this a young student, named John
Rollstone, wrote a little poem about
Mary and her lamb and presented it to
her. The lamb grew to be sheep and
lived for many years, and when at last
it died, Mary grievcd so much for it
that her mother took some of its wool,
which was las white as snow," and
knitted a pair of stockings for her, to
wear in remembrance of her darling.
Some years after the lambs death,
Mrs. Sarah Hall, celebrated woman
who wrote books, composed some
verses about Mary's lamb and added
them to those written by John Roll
stone, making the complete poem as
we know it.
Mary took such good care of the
stockings made of her lambs fleece
that when she was grown-up woman
she gave one of them to church-fair
in Boston. AS soon rs it became known
that the stocking was made from the
fleece of "Mary's little lamb" every
one wanted piece of it; so the stock
ing was raveled out and the yarn cut
into short pieces. Each piece was tied
to card on which "Mary" wrote her
full name, and these cards sold so well
that they brought the large sum of one
hundred and forty dollars to Old
South Church. Agricultur-

in the enterprise.
The party is going to need barrel
candidate worse than IL ever has. 1t
has lost the United States Treasury,
lost the Pension Department, lost the
post-oflices and lost the bloody shirt.
Hence the need Of abarrel.
They are very anxious to get in
again, however, and not scrupulous as
to the methods. They will throw
Blaine overheard, II necessary. Wheth-
or he and his friends will throw them
overheard remains to be tested. 1t Is
predicted that he will make it mutual,
and very cordial. There are still
enough Blaine men to make it rather
drizzly for any other candidate. They
think Blaine is far the strongest candi-
date, and they will at best have little
heart in the campaign of rival.
Still the party as whole would like
to shake him. 1t hardly knows how,
and goes about it with visible awk-
wardness. But it may succeed, and at
any rate it will have very interesting
time trying. There is little more
than year to do it in. II 'twere done

Genuine Boston FrugaIity.

A laughable story is told at the ex-
pense of Boston gentleman, who came
with a party of excursionists to tho
coast. When the Bostonian had been
duly busted, and all traces of travel
carefully removed from his immaculate
broadcloth and shining beaver, he
turned to the affable porter with o
benign smile, and vouchsafed; "Well,
/ suppose you want something foryour
trouble" and, drawing out his portly
wallet, he took therefrom two bright
new pennies, and with the air of man
who was doing rather more than was
expected of him, or the occasion de-
manded, presented them to the porter.
